Well after the intertouchdownception, a few things are clear. First and for most, no matter how bad we all thought the old refs might have been, we were dead wrong. Second, it's not see easy being a ref. Third and what I think is the most important, the nfl and the commish could care less about us as fans, the players safety, and the integrity of the game that is makin them money
I am sorry to all my packer fan out there. You got hosed. By the footlocker refs, by the league, and by Roger Goddell. Welcome to this saints fans life. How they put a product out there that allows for something like this to happen is beyond me.
On Goddells watch we have had a work/league stoppage and strike, a ref league stoppage and strike, the league being sued for millions for not being safe and a group of arbitrator judges reverse suspensions handed down because they were unjust. But the people he wok for, the owners, allow him to keep his job. I guess money really does talk.
That embarrassment on Monday night shows just how little the NFL owners and commish care about us as fans and the integrity of the product they put out. Joe Flacco mentioned that a week ago and people laughed. Now what do you think?
Also and more importantly, Flacco also mentioned and the players association mentioned in a letter to the league, the risk of injuries with these refs out there. most people blew I off. In the Pitt vs Oakland game, Hayward-Bay was knocked unconscious with a helmet to helmet hit. He didn't move for 11 minutes. Thankfully he is ok. How is this the refs fault, THERE WASN'T EVEN A PENALTY CALLED ON THE PLAY!!! Someone is going to get fined (and rightfully so) 15k for a hit he didn't even get a penalty for. This is insane.
What if he would have seriously gotten hurt? GODDELL is running around yelling about a bounty program that he can't prove existed but he let's officials into games that can't control the players and action on the field.
With all this I'll ask the same question Drew Brees asked this morning. Who's integrity should be questioned now?

The Adventures of Pennington week 3
Helllooooo all!!! Well now, what a crappy game I helped provide this week for u.
Let me start off by taking a look around the league, I don't know which way is up anymore and if Green Bay loses tonight, that would be the icing on the cake.
Back to my game at hand. So I have to admit, I got a little cocky. I never thought we would lose so I didn't bring my good luck "A" game to this one. Hanging around havin some beer, eatin some wings and socializing was my
Main focus.
And then I saw it. The drive to tie the game. Got to say I got scared. So I took of the sombrero, put down that funnel and summoned up the "good luck". It took a lot to get that shank but it worked. Tone time showed up when I wanted him too and Nick is quickly turning into a "Folk" hero with all the fieldgoals made.
Few things:
- We need a receivers that can hold on to the ball.
- the Shon Green experiment should be over
- Someone send a letter to Rex, you can't be a top 5 def without stopping the run
- Sanchize needs to be "on the Mark" a little more often
- Sexy Jesus made a sexy fake punt. We need to use him better (thanks for the help with the miracle btw T)
- please don't let Revis be hurt for the season. Please
Alright. We get the California boys next week at our house. I promise to be more focused Next week. Bring the pain!!

Yunel Escobar is an ass
So I have this gay friend. He gets super offended when people use the word "faggot".
Faggot got its slurred meaning back in the day. It means burning sticks (hence why a cig in England is called a fag). Gay people were thought to be evil and burned at the stake. While burning people would point and scream "faggot" (at least this is how the story was told)
Homosexuals took on the name faggot from that. You then have a pumps ass like Yunel Esobar who wrote in his eye black "tu ere maricon" which in English means "You're a Faggot".
Yunel goes on to explain how in his culture that's not a gay slur, it's just something you say As a general insult
It's sad that my friend is right. Faggot not only has made reference to gays, but not it has taken on a general negative connotation. Referring to all gays are negative. Yunel, your officially an ass. #justsayin

Vilma may shut a lot of haters up
Real quick here people. I just want to go over this.
So we're sayin that the best piece of evidence the NFL and Roger Goddell could come up with was a signed affidavit from Greg Williams saying Vilma put up 10k to take out Farve.
This affidavit was made and signed a few days ago, weeks after the courts tell Goddell his evidence isn't good enough.
So it's Goddell's 1 affidavit of a coach who will do anything to get back to his job (coaching) that Goddell has all the power over verses Vilma's 9 affidavits he has from coaches and players saying he didn't do it, all of which are pre-trial.
Just wanted to get that strait.
What happened to the 3 year investigation, 50,000 pages of evidence they did have? Oh yeah that's right, a panel of Judges said it wasn't enough
Goddell is a joke. If I were an owner I would realize the guy works for me and start the ball in motion to get him replaced. He is embarrassing the league. Between this and the Refs and a work storage a year ago, this is a disgrace.
Man up owners and do something about this guy! #justsayin

Goddell and the NFL are a joke!
He cares so much about the safety of his players that he threw the book at the saints for a bounty program he didn't have enough evidence to
Confirm....
But he let's this clown show of officials march out onto the field for the past few weeks putting the integrity of the league and the players safety in jeopardy.
The real officials went through extensive training and we still want to kill them. These guys are not trained well enough to be refing these games.
This is such a joke. Joe Flacco said what we should all be thinking.

The Adventures of Pennington Week 2
WHAT A WEEK!!!!
After last weeks blow out, I partied pretty hard with some friends throughout the week at Foleys (see picture) leaving me with with a massive headache on Sunday.
After parting all week I decided to stay with my venue of choice hoping we can get some more of that good luck going. And after the first quarter it looked like it was working. The Jets moved the ball well scored on the first drive and got pressure on Pitt's offense.
But as my headache got worse, so did the play and scoring. The wide receivers couldn't get open (Mark didn't complete a pass to a receiver after the first quarter), the defense couldn't tackle the quarterback, we couldn't find a way to get off the field on 3rd down and "sexy jesus" only got onto the field for one series (not fooling anyone with that little use of him).
In the end it was an "oh Shit not again" kinda day. Mark didn't look great but if some of the receivers, in particular Mr Holmes, would have caught some of the balls that "the Sanchize" hit him in the chest with, things may have been different.
Next week is Miami in Miami. Reggie Bush was good 2 weeks ago and a beast last week (179 yard rushing, 2 TD's). Since it looks like we can't stop the run again this year, and we always have a problem with Miami no matter how good or bad they look, I going to have to get my good luck prepped.
I think i'll start by helping Revis onto the field, teaching the linebackers how to tackle the QB, and getting some "stick'em" for the receivers. May be a good plan.
Until next week everyone keep a look out for Chad my pet mushroom. I found him on Tuesday and lost him again on Friday. Tricky little guy he is. See ya!!! Gnome out!

The Adventures of Pennington Week 1
Heellloooo everyone!!! My name is Pennington the "good luck/oh shit not again" NYJ gnome. I am bery lucky to have Anthony as a great friend. He is allowing me to use his blog to log my adventures this season
I started this year with a trip to Foleys in Pleasantville, NY for Week 1 and after this preseason I realized I had to bring extra luck this week annnnnddd it worked.
The Sanchize looked so good people booed "sexy Jesus" when he came in later into the game. I helped convince Hill that his hands were not made of stone and he can catch the ball... It worked. He scored 2 TD's.
Revis did what he does, until Bart Scott stepped on his hand. And Antonio Cromartie's 247 kids showed him how to summersault into the end zone.
Even special teams showed why they are so special with Kerrley's punt return. All aspects of the game were a plus. But now we have to go play Pitt. Man I hate playing them.
I'll make sure to try and bring the luck next week and not the "oh shit not again". By the way, anyone see my pet mushroom chad? Anybody?

UMPIRES NEED TO BE REGULATED
Listen, I understand the age old rule of you get some you lose some. If there is a bad call against you, eventually it will come back to you. But when a division is on the line you need to get the call right
In the Yankee game on Saturday night. There was a blatant missed call to end the game. I know, I know. They shouldn't have put themselves in that position, they had runners on in previous innings and the cal would have only tied the game, giving them a 50/50 chance off winning. I get all that. And it's all true but there are missed calls and whatever that was on Saturday night. I think half of Tex's body was over the bag before the ball reached the glove. We need instant replay for calls like this. Listen, If I'm willing to commit 3 hours to watch a baseball game, then I'm willing to commit 15 more minutes for instant reply to get the right calls
